Choosing a Mothers Power polisher

[anson89]

I need help choosing between the Powerball, Powercone, Powerball Mini and Powerball Mini MD. Using it to polish chrome wheels/lips, chrome exterior parts and perhaps other good uses as well. Not sure which will work best.

I'm also thinking of pairing this polisher up with the S100 finish restorer. Let me know what you think.

I have both the original, cone, and mini. The one I need most is the mini since it goes almost everywhere. The others are more specialty depending on the size of the wheel openings IMO. They are all considerably easier and more beneficial than hand polishing.

The PowerBal Mini MD is a specialty piece for scratch removal on an alloy, so I think you can remove it from the list of possibilities.

The correct one to choose is really based on your rim design - post a pic up so we can see what there is in the way of open areas, and any tight spots - that'll determine which will work best.

Open, 5 spoke type designs work well with the original PowerBall. Rims with split rims and small openings work best with the PowerCone. Most others are best served by the PowerBall Mini.
